Just be aware that certain "racing" type batteries if left discharged for more than 5 minutes are knackered by it, with the batt situation you could always move it's location as well.
AGM batteries are so much more powerful, and can be mounted anywhere, even upside down without problem if needed.

As it's only got a low amp-hour rating, it will go flatter more quickly if the alarm is continually drawing current, unless you can keep it on a trickle charger. Shouldn't be a problem unless the car isn't used very regularly.
Might be worth you investing in a battery switch to disconnect the battery when you park the car up at night, unless you need to hear the alarm going off (ie you don't use the alarm simply as an immobiliser).
